Lasko,
I respect and welcome the decision that you have made. You are quite correct about struggle. You have to struggle no matter where you end up being. My parents (who did not finish high school or inherit any property) took care of my grand parents until the end and  gave me every opportunity that could be bought with financial or social resources. I am proud of that. Very proud indeed. I just want to be morally responsible and choose my way of life. So my fellow countryman I will return too. Soon.
In no way I am suggesting that returning home or to motherland to our families is a superior decision. It is just that I find it suitable to my thinking. I will be happier that way. I know those who are away from Nepal love the motherland just as much as we do. They will do what they can to help us: good advices, moral and social help, political and financial help/investment. I know they will.

I have no authority to tell what is right. People have to decide what is right for themselves.

500 years ago this country was land of wilderness. Today it is what it is or what you think it is. People made it what it is. You and I are people. I want to believe that we are no less human than those on this land from whom I have benefited much. At least I can try to make motherland a better place. As Michael Jordan once said, 'I MAY not make a shot if I try, but if I don't try I know I WILL NOT make the shot'. A wise Canadian woman once said, 'I don't move just because things got interesting somewhere. I want to know how things got interesting there. May be I can try it here. But you please go.'

May the force be with you.
